Richie's Mk1 Restoration

[RichardT10829]

Well the ignition system came back from Royal Kustoms today, a big thank you to Jim Turnbull who turned the job around in one day for me..... The problem was with a faulty rotor. So new rotor and new cap was added

I plumbed the thing back together and juiced her up..... Here is the very first start up.... I had to prime the carb a few times, but she started after a couple of turns.....not bad for my first one !

I still need to tune everything in etc but will do some reading before I twiddle.
And I noted a faint wisp of smoke coming from the left bank water outlet on the head... Hoping that is residual crap that has been lying inside...hoping.....


Here is the footage.
